I exchanged some mails with Mike Fabian (mfabian on suse people) about the issue.
The problem, from his words, is:
"I believe the problem is that freetype 2.1.9 is not completely binary compatible to 2.1.7. As far as I know, it is binary compatible as far as the public API is concerned, but unfortunately some applications used internal freetype functions which have been changed. I.e. that is most likely a bug in the KDE fontinstaller, it shouldn't have used private freetype functions.
As the above problem doesn't occur on the current development version of SuSE where all the KDE libraries are compiled against freetype 2.1.9, I think it is likely that the problem would go away on SuSE 9.1 if the programs causing problems were recompiled against freetype 2.1.9. Unfortunately this isn't easy for you and I also cannot easily supply updated versions of all KDE libraries."
You can revert to the old freetype libraries.
Bye
I,ve down graded freetype to version 2.1.7 using apt and Kfontinstaller works now.
